Anyone heard of "Zone Wheels"

I found what seems to be a good deal on a set of used wheels.

They are 3 piece Zone 1 wheels, curb rash but fixable. No dents or dings.

But 1 ive never heard of this company...
And 2 the only place i can find them for sale says "no longer available"
but does price them out at 1400$ approx PER wheel.

Any thoughts?

this is one of two sites i found them on. Both saying no longer available.

Never heard of them. Did you ask why they stopped manufacturing those wheels? Also, did you see them over on e46fanatics? If so, they seem like a good deal with those tires on them for $1200 considering the tires look to be in good condition.

Here's a little something I found: http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/...hp/t-2985.html
This distributor says they're top notch wheels that are custom built here in the US and use aircraft quality grade t6-6061 aluminum.

There's not much information around about these wheels but thats likely due to the fact they were ~$1400 each brand new. Most people looking to spend that kind of money on new wheels are looking for well known and respected brands such as HRE, BBS, etc. To me it seems like you can't go wrong for $1200 with some fairly new tires on the wheels.

I emailed the people on that website i linked with no reply, So i have no one to ask... my main worry is, What if i damage one to the point i cant fix it? Or just want a replacement for any reason, I would be out of luck! And no i found them on craigslist, and they only have 2 tires on them not 4.

Thanks for looking into it as well, seems youve seen just as much as i did except you found some with tires. Mind pm'ing me a link to the e46 ones?

Nope, never heard of them. I would have the same concern regarding spare/replacement wheel availability, but then again you are in S.D. I would hope your roads are better than what we have in the Chicago area

They look just like the Donz Wheelz I had on my G35.

No, but they do have them in 3 piece now. When I got mine back in 07 they only came as a 1 piece.
